Black Myth Wukong does an excellent job of hiding many in-game weapons and armor behind secret questlines. Taking inspiration from multiple endings depending in souls-like games, Black Myth Wukong also has a Secret, True Ending – which is also considered the ‘Good’ Ending to the game. Reaching the true ending also unlocks one of the strongest weapons in the game Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear. Here is the guide to unlocking the True Ending to Black Myth Wukong and obtaining the Tri-point Double-Edged Spear in Black Myth Wukong.
How To Unlock The True (Good) Ending In Black Myth Wukong
Complete all the secret areas, beat the final boss, and finish the side quest Treasure Hunter to unlock the True Ending to Black Myth Wukong and unlock Tri-point Double-Edged Spear.
The default ending is regarded as bad as Wukong fails to reach his true destiny. Completing the secret levels of the game will unlock one of the most beautifully crafted cutscenes, where everything will end in a more positive tone. If you love the story of Black Myth Wukong as much as we did, missing out on the True Ending scene will be a mistake.
Note: You don’t have to do a second playthrough to get the weapon or reach the Good ending to the game, you can obtain both of them through your first run.
Requirements To Unlock True Ending & The Tri-point Double-Edged Spear
Here are the requirements, you must cross off the list to obtain the True Ending to Black Myth Wukong.
- First Requirement: You need to finish Chapter 6, and defeat the final boss. Beat the game but don’t enter the New Game Plus cycle.

Starting the Drunken Boar Quest
- Start the quest by talking to the Drunken Boar in the Fright Cliff area in Yellow Wind Ridge. The Drunken Boar is going to send us in a collectible run, so it is better to have all the collectible quest items with us before initiating the quest line.
